International and national research has consistently found that LGB&T people have worse mental health than heterosexual people. LGB&T people are far more likely to have attempted to take their own lives, and rates of depression, anxiety and self-harm are also much higher.
This set of resources aims to provide basic information that practitioners and service providers need about gender identity and sexuality, and the needs of LGB&T people in relation to mental health, and, separately, to provide LGB&T people with information on seeking mental health support.
In order to help with future resource development and dissemination, we would be grateful if you would complete the following questions, which should take no more than a few minutes. The questions are all on this one page, and fewer than half of them require that you choose an answer in order to complete the survey.
